Actually the suspension was quite simular to that of the S. Both were tight but I think the ride was a bit smoother in the RX-8....that or it was just the road. If you need a 4 seater with spacious room, then IMO, the RX-8 would be for you...but if you can have just 2 seats and love the convertable....definately the S is for you

Rx8, very nice car for the price...Still no match for the S2k. I know this cause i test drove one with the 6 speed and took it up to 8.5rpm and i could tell our S2k has way more kick. If they put turbo in it and lose about 300lbs, i would trade my S2k. The Renesis rotary sound really nice when you rev it pass 4500rpm.

Same here, when I test-drove an RX8, it didn't have much of a kick. That car is definitely not for me, as I don't like the interior very much. There was one more weird thing about it, the clutch pedal was way inward while the gas pedal was outward. If I put the seat close enough, it would've been fine with the clutch but too close to the gas, and likewise for the other way around.

I raced one. Some older guy in his red RX-8.

They are quick. But not a match for S2000.
Also, they over rated their stock HP figures. They are about 227hp cars.
